Wine Review: This pitch black colored Cabernet Sauvignon is very impressive. It opens with a black cherry and black currant bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, refined and smooth as silk. The flavor profile is a delicious black currant and oak blend with notes soft refined minerality. I also detected hints of black olive and a hint of black pepper. The finish is dry and its lengthy well-managed tannins stick around for quite some time. This wine would pair well with a filet mignon. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The Louis M. Martini Lot 1 Cabernet Sauvignon captures the essence of Napa Valley’s best vineyards and distinctive terroir. This is a full-bodied, voluptuous wine—dark, dense, rich and layered. It swirls with aromas and flavors of blackberry, blueberry liqueur and black currant. They meld with streaks of licorice, dark cherry, cocoa, tobacco and more. The beautifully integrated flavors continue to rush through a luscious mouthfeel and burst again in a long, complex, well-structured finish. This is a wine that can age for decades.
